Hypomania

Creativity drives today’s world, with new technology arriving daily and science conducting itself further. We need creative and imaginative people in today’s atmosphere to bring the world to the next step forward. “Standardized college admissions tests assess only analytical skills, as well as the knowledge base on which they act, and completely ignore creative and practical skills (Sternberg 7)”. Without creative people in this world, where do you think we would be? Not very far. We need practical skills to go throughout everyday life. The standardized tests don’t test for that knowledge base, they test how much short term memory a

In the context of creativity’s stated definition, we will proceed to group our arguments into three themes of factors: cognitive ability, expertise training, and environmental conditions. The human brain is highly adaptable and can continue to develop new cognitive abilities, even past adulthood (Norman, 2015). Proper cognitive expertise and training can help workers produce and operate in ingenious ways (Ginamarie, Lertiz & Mumford, 2004). Finally, the working environment can both motivate or stifle creative output. Managers can influence all three components: expertise, thinking skills, and motivation (Amabile, 1998).

S. I. Hayakawa wrote and published an article named "What lt Means to Be Creative". This article challenged how a creative person could be defined and identified. In Hayakawa’s essay he presents several points of view an individual could be characterized as being creative. His writing forces you to contemplate on how a person’s aptitudes are categorized. Hayakawa tests your ability to be opened minded and makes you visualize how a person could be described as a creative individual but may discredited themselves due to society’s standard of this word. After reading his writing, I believe I can summarize his analogy.

In this essay I will explore the correlation between intelligence (IQ) and creativity (DT), and whether one is influenced or can be predicted by the existence of the other. The relationship between IQ (intelligence quotient) and creativity has been an anchor point for psychological research. Numerous amounts of psychologists have carried out research in order to find evidence to support this idea of a correlation or evidence to disprove the hypothesis that IQ and creativity could be related.

The word creative sums up my friend Sydnie perfectly she does everything on her own, she is always looking for ways to express her creative ability, and she is always using what she has learned in any way possible. From doing everything on her own to writing her own novel my friend Sydnie is one creative girl. The day that Sydnie stops being creative I will find it common sense to call 911. Sydnie has shown me that those who are creative are the ones that are running the

Creativity within relationships is vital for a seemingly healthy relationship. Creativity is ‘often associated with imagination and inspiration in the arts.. also vital for problem solving and development of new ideas’ (Taylor and Turner 2016a). Psychologist’s see creativity important because of it’s economic and cultural importance; Mihaly Csikszentmihaly suggested that ‘being creative involves a state of concentration and total involvement’ (Csikszentmihalyi, cited in Taylor and Turner 2016). Some psychologists assume that creativity is a characteristic only few hold, where as it is now argued that anybody can be creative given the right pathway. Taylor and Turner have split creativity into three frameworks; creative contexts, creative collaboration’s and creative groups and cultures.

It is love that makes our lives happier and more enjoyable. No one wants to deny this truth. We can always see beautiful love story in novel, movies and music. However, meanwhile love can cause many psychological and social problems, especially in young adult population.

“Kleptomania comes from the Greek word meaning “stealing madness” (p426).” Kleptomania can be defined, as the irresistible impulse to steal objects, however researchers have not found substantial evidences to prove this. Kleptomania is included as a behavioral disorder in the DSM-5, because it can be identified as an impulse disorder. “Lloyed Klemke suggests that kleptomania is a psychiatric label with roots at the turn of the twentieth century (p.426).” Kleptomania is a rare phenomenon occurring in about 4 to 24 people who arrested for shoplifting. In a study done by Sarasalo, Bergman and Toth they found that out of all the shoplifters they interviewed none fulfilled the DSM criteria for kleptomania. A majority of information on kleptomania

Today, in this world there are many psychological disorder but one disorder that I found interesting was kleptomania. Kleptomania is the urge of stealing objects everywhere a person goes regardless of its need for use or any financial problems. Kleptomaniacs do not steal for the value of the object but rather they steal for the reward they get by their brains. If they force themselves not to steal, they get severe anxiety attacks and get nervous. They do not think stealing things is a problem to others but they do not do it to hurt others either.
